When A Woman Loves A Man (Book) - 5/25/2011 6:04:18 AM
When a woman loves a man....she gives her all, body , mind and soul!. Your poems are very heart felt and true. There is nothing like love. when in love and when you are loved in return you feel like you can accomplish everything. It is such a beautiful thing that no matter how many times we get hurt, we are drawn back to it (LOVE).
When A Woman Loves A Man (Book) - 4/30/2010 2:07:12 PM
Dear Readers,
In multidimensional muses, poems and vignettes in her book "When a Woman Loves a Man," AuthorsDen writer Bernice Angoh reveals the exciting secrets of being a Proverbs 31 (10-31) wife—“whose worth is far above jewels”—a wife who is enthralled and fulfilled with the certainty she is loved equally in return. And she shows you how you can have the same thing for yourself.
I've been married to the same woman for 58 years. Based on my personal relationship experience and having read this marvelous book from cover to cover, I tell you all that if you read this book with an open heart, your life and your marriage will never again be the same. What an incredible gift to you and your loved one!
With love, respect and admiration to Bernice Angoh,
Richard

"Mother Teresa" and "I Sit Alone and Cry," et seq.

Anytime a book is done, it is a great achievement and the author should be congratulated especially by true friends. The phony ones will get jealous and maybe not say a thing, start treating you funny and acting all stupid. Even some family members, not to leave out AD, will do the same. Maybe this is just in my world, then again it is reality in human relations. Both of my oldest brothers and some of my friends got all stupid when I did my first book, then when I did the second, one of my brothers really showed his ass. Any way enjoy your success Bernice and don't let any of the fools blow it. cheers

Bernice Angoh has the ability to reach through words and give a boost to others. Everything she writes is full of love--the reader cannot help but feel it, and keeps coming back for more. Some of her works are short--some are long--some rhyme--some stop abruptly. She says what needs to be said in the poem, and then stops. Each poem is like its own egg kingdom...crack it open, find the gold, and be nourished... I thoroughly enjoy reading her wonders. --Charlie

totally awesome poem Bernice...I wish I could paint with words as good as you. The one poem that I wrote that filled my heart and my eyes with tears is Star So Bright. But my work cannot hold a candle to yours. You are truly GIFTED.
Bless you,

Bernice, I read all the reviews posted below mine here, and I agree with them all. This article has made an impact on each one of us and, in turn, we each will impact others with our new viewpoints and understandings brought about by "My Africa."
Kudos to Bernice!

Haha! I am so in awe after reading this. Didnt you know there is a Seattle in Kekem? on our way to Bamenda, we passed by it one time...and we had to go through Chicago in Nkongsamba because the bridge had collapsed....Just kidding...
I am so happy to read this article. I have met some folks who even pretend they speak nothing but English. I think it comes from a place where there is little self esteem and a need to feel intergrated in a new society, but it can be done more honest ways. I show nothing but pity and hope they Learn. This is amazing Bernice. You make me more proud to be a Cameroonian. and Yes there is also a Paris in Cameroon, they just dont have a tower.
My Africa (Article) - 5/28/2008 8:49:48 AM

I am saddened by this story, men tend to rule the world and women often try to find ways to protect young girl from them. In a male dominated world, women must get more education so that we can dismiss some of these horrible customs that hurt more than help. Thanks for educating me on this custom.
My Africa (Article) - 5/1/2008 6:46:10 AM
What an amazing talent you have with words. A most excellent piece.
My Africa (Article) - 4/14/2008 7:20:39 AM
I will have to print a copy if you don't mind and let my African and American friends read this. You are correct... people believe the stuff we see on TV and media propoganda. Just like some foreigners think that everyone lives like movies stars and there's no poverty in America.

Have never heard of breast ironing - more injustices done to our daughters. "To keep boys off our daughters" particularly heartbreaking - what's being done to keep THEM off? Sad -

Breast Ironing (Article) - 3/13/2008 3:24:11 AM
In my travels though Africa I have seen and heard of barbaric "traditional" customs bestow upon girls/women but never ever I encountered such practices done to men.
In some parts of extreme muslim sharia garbage, women are forced to wear burkas even with temperatures well over the hundred, while boys/ men, to escape the the furnace can go around half naked.
When a girl is subject to those barbaric practices, shouldn't a male member of her family offer a testicle? that will stop it pronto! ! !

OH!! Those poor little girls! Stunned. I just can't stand the thought of parents hurting their own children-- they've been so difficult for me to bring into the world. No, I'm with you. Education-- education is the best way to protect our children-- that and bashing in our t.v's... --Charlie
Breast Ironing (Article) - 3/12/2008 3:15:24 PM
this is terribly sad and cruel.
Breast Ironing (Article) - 3/12/2008 2:44:51 PM
Bernice,
Oh This Is Indeed Very Sad! Why can't they just wrap them without harm? The physical pain of this Ironing!! Why is it there isn't also teaching the boys? I read a story about a lady came from another country & her vagina & all the other attributes were mutilated & destroyed when she was a girl. (No Sexual Pleasure For Females Only Men Are Allowed) anyway she had no idea she was deformed/mutilated till the OBGYN was in horror and asked her what happened to her. The Lady never experienced an orgasm even. I can't fathom to know a man like that. Oh No...No...No....Superiority of any form is very small & microscopic in my book!
Thank Your For Further Knowledging Me Us This!

It is interesting that our society has evolved to one in which we take our cues on who/how/what we should be from a business-driven market riddled with air-brushed, fantasy images concocted in the minds of high-paid advertising executives. When did we stop listening to our hearts and spirits - that soft voice that tries to climb up from beneath all the layers of external influence and guide us to ourselves, our calling? Good article - lessons for both genders.

How to Tame a Lion (Article) - 10/2/2007 4:56:22 AM
When we wvolved from the caves and began to live in the cities, the natural conduct of man was changed from the hunter to the couch potato . . . During that time man, some of us, burnt off that hunger for the hunt with horrific wars and other physical domination acts such as abuse upon our wives . . . Society has, once again, given mman something to rebel about (and we will rebel at some point in time) when they neutered us in the name of political correctness . . . Good article, Bernice . . .

I Love Me Too (Poetry) - 2/9/2013 1:44:22 PM
I appreciate the line "I have been broken, healed, and then broken again" for it does happen many times in one's life. Turning to the Divine Healer gives strength for the journey and hope when we are trampled on.
Knowing God loves ME gives dignity, honor and hope, enabling us to give Him the broken pieces and go on with Him.
Great writing!

Good advice from the Higher Power, Bernice, and also good that you yielded to that sound advice. It took me many lost decades before I knew the supreme feeling of loving myself. The day I felt that revolution, I was suddenly able to forgive myself for the wrongs I had done over the years to people who I hurt along the way. On that second day of October day, 2010, I became a free and happy man. Life has not been the same and that, my friend, is good. Love the photo.

BROKEN (Poetry) - 2/5/2013 6:30:51 AM
Let us suppose you are merely exercising your talent as a poet when you wrote these lines of despair and hopelessness. Such agony is within these lines, and such a contrast to those you wrote even yesterday. I prefer to believe you were just giving into to your poetical license and tomorrow you will be back with us as you were before.
Love Without Restraints (Poetry) - 2/4/2013 12:13:32 PM

I agree. We tend to focus on buying things we don't need for each other at Christmas instead of paying attention to what is really important. I don't know why we seem to rely on government to do everything when it is us, the people, who can do everything if we only put our minds to it. By the way, my mother's name is Nina.

Hon, take it from someone who has suffered more heartbreak than they care to remember. It is not the end of the world. Life goes on and it gets better. If you have never seen the evil side of Mankind, you can’t fully appreciate the beauty of this creature created by the lord. Every disappointment is but a stumbling block. We come back better and fiercer. But until you can let it go, you hold urself in bondage that the creep does not deserve.

I used to think that love only won if two people shared the love, but in reality no one ever loses by taking the effort to give of themselves and love someone else.
If the other person doesn't reciprocate that love, they are the ones that lose...

Whether this is just verse or reality Bernice, you do not fail to express or reveal where your heart is, as far as I'm concerned a goodbye from you would actually be a hello, a loving person like you could travel to mars, or out of reach but the love you leave behind would stay right where it's at, cheers

Mama's Here! (Poetry) - 1/2/2010 7:26:28 PM
I believe Motherhood is like no other experience in the world, and more than once I have been envious of their exhaulted stations in life.
Almost without exception, a Mother can't help but have total and unconditional love for her child. Most often that same total and unconditional love flows back to her, but not nearly often enough does the child openly share the knowledge of its love with its mother.
In writing from the heart and in publicly sharing your love for your mother, my dear Bernice, you have honored her in a very special and tender way.
Thank you for the many times you have visited my den site and posted your thoughtful, loving and supportive comments.
May God's warmth and love be with you in your Happy New Year!

I'm so glad your mom is here with you, Nina, and Rick. It was a long time coming, and hopefully it will never be that long again. Your words for your mom are precious and timeless, spanning your life and hers. It is evident that she is the one who groomed you, inspired you, and the one for whom you hold the deepest gratitude. You and she are blessed to be together now. Continue to enjoy, share, and cherish each moment...more wonderful memories for future days.

Your words echo in the hollow empty souled aisles of the churches, schools and political gathering spots and beg to be heard. It is a sad world at times for sure but...and to play the devil's advocate...there is also so much beauty and love to counterbalance at least some of the evil...a baby's gurgle, a husbands smile a flower, a sunset...you get the picture.
